ABOUT


Sonia Levy is an artist and research-led filmmaker whose work, marked by site-specific inquiries, delves into the implications of Western expansionist and extractive logics, exploring how these forces manifest in the transformation and governance of aquatic environments. Her practice aims to probe the thresholds that shape and influence the conditions necessary for life to flourish.
